The present invention relates to a novel bacterium
Pseudomonas sp. 14og as deposited into the NRRL Patent Culture Collection on 3 Dec. 2020 and designated NRRL accession no. B-67999. The present invention also relates to insecticidally active substances obtained or derived from
Pseudomonas sp. 14og. The insecticidal substances find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, Hemipteran, Tetranychidae, fungal,
nematode and
mite pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity. The present invention relates to a novel bacterium and use for biocontrol of
insect pests. More particularly, the invention relates to a newly discovered species of
Pseudomonas bacterium that exhibits insecticidal activity. The invention also relates to proteins and / or peptides and / or metabolites obtained from the strain that possess insecticidal activity and to insecticidal compositions comprising cultures of the novel strain and / or supernatants, filtrates, and extracts obtained from the strain, and use thereof to control
insect pests. The present invention relates to a novel bacterium and uses thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to applications concerned with the biopesticidal activity of the novel bacterium and of its
mutant or variant strains. The present invention also concerns proteinaceous substances produced by this novel bacterium and of its
mutant or variant strains obtained or derived from the aforesaid
bacteria.
